"Sect Master Mu, please calm down!"
Jing Zhe thought for a moment and asked, "Sect Master Mu, do your female disciples always marry monogamous?"
"..."
Mu Qingren did not answer, and raised the sword in her hand again.
Startled, Jing Zhe quickly said, "Sect Leader Mu, please don't be impulsive! I was just asking casually! Also, Qingqiu and I don't have that kind of relationship. Qingqiu is my sister!"
"Your sister?"
Since entering the Wuxian Pavilion, Mu Qingren has been devoted to studying the path of martial arts, knowing very little about the outside world, and naturally unaware of Jing Zhe's family background.
He paused for a moment, then shook his head: "How could that be? Qingqiu joined the Qingyun Sect more than ten years ago, much earlier than Yingqiu. How could she be your sister?"
"Sect Master Mu, how could I joke about something like this? If she weren't my sister, how could she have said something like that last night, given her personality?"
After listening to Jing Zhe's explanation, Mu Qingren felt that it made some sense. She had met Qingqiu many times, and to be honest, she was also a little surprised by Qingqiu's behavior yesterday, which is why she questioned Wang Yingqiu, although she didn't get a clear answer.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Qingren nodded to herself and said, "Could it be true? This morning, Qingqiu called Yingqiu over. If she really took hers... why would she call her out at this time? Could it be that she went to explain this to Yingqiu?"
After he finished speaking, he felt that it made a lot of sense and nodded repeatedly.
Hearing that Wang Yingqiu had been summoned by Qingqiu, Jing Zhe smiled bitterly to himself, thinking that Fairy Sister was really serious this time!
"Does Pavilion Master Mu believe it now?"
Mu Qingren nodded, but still said coldly, "I will investigate this thoroughly later. I hope you are not lying to me! Also, I'll say it again: as long as you don't agree to join my Wuxian Pavilion, you can forget about ever seeing Yingqiu again!"
Jing Zhe curled his lip, "That's what Pavilion Master Mu said when he left last time, but I still ended up seeing the Garden Master yesterday."
His words were full of disdain, which made Mu Qingren furious.
"If I had known you were there yesterday, I wouldn't have brought Yingqiu along!"
Jing Zhe pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"If it weren't for the fact that you wrote a decent poem for me, I would have stabbed you to death with a sword!"
Mu Qingren was very dissatisfied with his attitude and gritted her teeth, saying resentfully.
Jing Zhe was also a little angry. It was bad enough that they were hindering his and the garden owner's good time every day, but they kept saying they wanted to stab him. Who could stand it?
"If it weren't for the fact that you're the master of the garden, I would have loved to stab you so hard you'd feel like you were dying!"
Unlike Mu Qingren, Jing Zhe was not as assertive. Although his tone was also harsh, it was somewhat lewd, so his voice was much softer.
"What did you say?"
Mu Qingren was highly skilled and had excellent hearing. Even though Jing Zhe's voice wasn't loud, she still managed to hear most of it.
"You still have a gun on you?"
When the two fought last time, Mu Qingren had seen Jing Zhe use a sword, but as for a spear—she looked Jing Zhe up and down again, but couldn't find anywhere on his body where he was hiding a spear.
"Hmph, my spear is incredibly powerful, and I don't display it easily. Even two women of Pavilion Master Mu's level wouldn't be able to withstand the power of my spear!"
Jing Zhe nodded, pleased with himself.
"Liar! I don't believe you! Show it to me!"
Although Jing Zhe's martial arts skills are not low, the two had fought once before, and Jing Zhe was no match for her in a head-on fight. Now he claims that he can defeat two of her with just a spear—how could Mu Qingren believe that?
"That won't do! I can't let you see it?"
Why?
"I'm scared..."
Jing Zhe thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that Pavilion Master Mu might take a liking to my spear and want to possess it, which would be terrible."
"How is that possible?"
"Hehe, anything is possible."
Jing Zhe looked Mu Qingren up and down and suddenly thought, what if she really tried it? How would he face his disciple then?
That scene must have been incredibly exciting…
Seeing that it was getting late, and having promised Qingqiu that he had to go to Qingyun Sect that afternoon—mainly because if Wang Yingqiu went now, it was uncertain whether she could even survive half a day under Qingqiu's "torture," so he had to hurry and rescue her.
So he bid farewell, saying, "Sect Master Mu, I'm going to Tongtianque for an interview. Farewell!"
Before turning around, he didn't forget to remind her, "The back mountain is dangerous, Pavilion Master Mu, don't take any risks!"
"..."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the direction of Tongtianque.
Mu Qingren stood at the crossroads for a while, until Jing Zhe's figure disappeared from sight. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and resolutely followed the fork in the road towards the forbidden area of Changsheng Mountain...
...
Unlike the day before yesterday, this time when Jing Zhe came to Tongtianque, he no longer needed to sneak around and walked in openly.
The gatekeeper had already received instructions from the Qingyang Sect Leader, so as soon as Jing Zhe arrived, he led him directly to the Tongtianque Hall.
At this moment, the Qingyang Sect Leader and Qiu Qianqian's master, Song Nieli, sat in the main seats, with Qiu Qianqian and Xue Dianzun standing on either side.
When Jing Zhe entered the hall, Qiu Qianqian glanced at him, then lowered her head again, her eyes neither sad nor happy, her calmness frightening.
Xue Dianzun seemed to have sensed his junior sister's cold attitude towards Jing Zhe, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, a hint of smugness in his expression.
"President Jing is here?"
"Greetings, Sect Leader Qingyang."
He then looked at Song Nie Li and said, "Could this senior be the great hero Song Nie Li?"
From the moment Jing Zhe entered the hall, Song Nieli observed him carefully, after all, Qiu Qianqian's first mission failure was related to Jing Zhe.
However, he couldn't sense any internal energy fluctuations from Jing Zhe, which made him even more curious.
How could someone like that cause his prized disciple to fail?
He glanced at Qiu Qianqian and noticed that although she had her head down, based on his understanding of her, he knew that she must be preoccupied with something. He then guessed what was going on in his mind.
She sighed. Perhaps, this was a necessary tribulation on her path of martial arts training, and it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as she could overcome it, her cultivation level would surely reach a higher level!
So he smiled and nodded, saying, "President Jing has a good eye. I am indeed Song Nieli."
Without further ado, the Qingyang Sect Leader asked directly, "President Jing, do you have any specific ideas for this interview in Quezhong?"
Jing Zhe laughed and said, "I don't have any ideas. I'll interview whatever the Qingyang Sect Leader wants me to interview. I'll write whatever the Qingyang Sect Leader wants the people to see."
"..."
Both the Qingyang Sect Leader and Song Nieli were stunned by these words.
They all knew about Jing Zhe's long-standing feud with the King of Jin, and Jing Zhe must have known about the relationship between Tongtianque and the King of Jin. Therefore, it was natural that Jing Zhe could not have a good impression of Tongtianque.
Therefore, the Qingyang Sect Leader wasn't really interested in Jing Zhe's interview, always feeling that he would deliberately smear their Tongtianque. Hearing Jing Zhe's words really surprised him.
